After the French Revolution, all of Europe was in turmoil. England had its hands full fighting Napoleon. England felt it could work with the Americans, and it was in its interests to allow them to "patrol the back door", as it were, and keep the French (and later, Prussians and Austrians) from flanking them in the New World. It freed their resources for the main battles in Europe itself.
